"What should I do?"
Realizing the situation of the Southern Army, Mitsumasa Yonechi hurriedly asked Ishihara Waner.
Ishihara did not answer immediately, but carefully looked at the information of the Southern Army in his hand and fell into deep thought, and Mitsumasa Yonechi also controlled his anxious state of mind and forced himself to continue waiting.
"There's no way."
After a long time, Ishihara sighed.
He also emphatically repeated:
"There is no way, we can only wait!"
"Just waiting here?"
Mitsumasa Mine's eyes widened.
The total strength of the Southern Army is nearly 400,000, and a large part of them are old divisions, A divisions and divisions formed at the beginning of the war, which are the elite part of the imperial locust army.
Now that the enemy is encircling and suppressing the Southern Army, it is foreseeable that a huge fiasco has begun, and huge casualties have begun to count.
"Yes, only waiting."
Ishihara's tone became cold at this time:
"Remote control command is the most taboo in combat."
"The terrain in the south of the Republic of China is complex and the situation is changeable, we can't know the situation facing the southern army in time, and the remote command and command add chaos, so it is better to hand it over to the front-line commanders and let them adapt to the situation."
"Indeed."
Minai was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
He has already given the order to retreat, where to retreat, and arranged for the receiving troops, and he really can't do anything about the rest, there are only so many cards, he can only wait quietly and resign himself to fate.
Besides, he was a little powerless to command.
Many units of the Southern Army have lost contact, and there is no way to command them.
"If you can, you can use intelligence agencies, special high-tech departments, etc., to provide guerrilla intelligence."
Ishihara added.
Mitsumasa Minei shook his head and did not speak.
Tegaoke provides guerrilla intelligence?
If it was more than a year ago, that is, in 43 years, it would have been simpler at that time, at that time, the special high-tech and other intelligence departments were all over the Republic of China, and with the help of garrisons in various counties, intelligence personnel infiltrated the streets and alleys.
But now, with the rise of the Tubalu, the special high-tech and other companies have been attacked in a series of ways, many intelligence officers have been found out, and the infiltration of the guerrillas is not as good as before.
I don't know what's going on.
Although the intelligence department of the preserved fruit was powerful before, it was only possible to fight with the Imperial Intelligence Department, but since Tubalu came, arresting intelligence personnel was the same as taking names.
The current intelligence section, let alone providing information on the guerrillas, only learns a lot of their information through the news.
For example, a number of high-ranking officials, including Kanda Masa, the commander of the Sixth Division, will be publicly shot in Ping'an County on October 1, and it was only through the Heian Daily that only learned about it, and before that, no one in the empire knew about it.
"Hey..."
Putting down the information in his hand, Ishihara sighed again:
"Judging from the current situation, the chances of the empire winning this war against the Republic of China are very low."
Mitsumasa Yonechi looked over, did not speak, and motioned for Ishihara to continue.
"At the beginning of the war, this war needed 10,000 yuan, the empire only had 6,000 yuan, and the Republic of China only had 1,000 yuan, the odds of victory were in the empire, although the Republic of China was huge in size and depth, but in the absence of other forces to intervene, continue to fight, and the winning side must be the empire."
Mitsumasa Yonechi nodded in agreement.
If the situation in the Republic of China does not change and continues to be consumed, the empire can win, defeat the preserved fruit, and win the Tubalu without assistance, but it is also a fiasco, and it is unable to digest this Republic of China.
"But now, the empire still has three thousand, and the Republic of China..."
Speaking of this, Ishihara paused and continued:
"At least 100,000 pieces."
"This gap is not to be bridged by 'making the impossible possible', but by strategy."
"Strategically, in addition to looking for the enemy's weaknesses, it is also necessary to recognize the advantages of the conditions, tactics, warriors, specific weapons, and other means of warfare that our side possesses, and only by relying on these advantages can the enemy's weaknesses be expanded."
"The plan drawn up by the Ministry of War must be feasible and in line with the current capabilities of the Empire."
"It is also important to have a plan to prevent accidents from happening, such as the case in Hengyang."
"Yes."
Mitsumasa Yonechi nodded frequently.
Hideki Tojo's favorite words, make the impossible possible, every time he listens to it, he feels that he is off the score, and it is impossible to do it, how to make it possible?
You want an infantryman with a rifle to destroy a tank?
And then make the impossible possible?
How?
Penetrate the enemy's armor with a bayonet?
"So."
Ishihara Wan'er changed his words:
"I suggest that while shrinking our forces and maintaining the territory of the Kwantung Army, we should also start another battle plan."
"What's the plan?"
Mitsumasa Minei's eyes narrowed.
"Attack the Indian subcontinent."
Ishihara Waner says:
"Judging from the data, the current contradictions in the empire have eased, and the anti-war intensity has continued to decrease, in addition to many anti-war elements being thrown into the army, the main reason is the cheap food and civilian resources from the Republic of China."
"There are too many of them, and this is obviously a conspiracy."
"The enemy can't attack, so he deliberately uses supplies to attract the empire, and in order to get these supplies, we have to maintain a large occupation area, occupy transportation lines, greatly disperse the forces, and also consume the power of the empire."
"Therefore, we need to make sure that the food supply channel is in our own hands, relying on the little food in Southeast Asia, which is not enough for the empire to consume."
"Hmm."
Mitsumasa Yonechi nodded again.
This idea coincides with him.
At this time, the situation in Europe is changing, Britain and the United States have failed one after another, and even the United States mainland has been bombed, which is the weakest time for the coalition forces.
Where there is not only an abundance of food supplies, but also a population.
"That's right."
Finally, Ishihara said:
"We also need to restart the construction of Southeast Asian oil fields."
"The empire lacks equipment, but we can get someone to help."
Miné nodded in agreement.
Oil refining equipment, the best is still the Americans, there are ready-made, although second-hand, but there are in stock. Although the size is small and the efficiency is low, it doesn't matter if the efficiency is low, the small size will carry the bomb.
"I also need you to communicate with the Locust and the Navy."
Ishihara continued:
"Judging from the situation in Europe, the Americans are anxious to supply the bear in the north, and we can use the bargaining chips to open up the shipping lanes to obtain some favorable conditions."
"Good idea."
Mitsumasa's eyes lit up.
······
Ping'an County.
"The Americans condemn us?"
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Grand Master Li was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and scolded:
"Fuck, Yankee kicked his nose in the eye, didn't he?! They haven't said anything about the labor they did themselves, and the devils didn't let go of a single fart when they killed us, and now they are running out and jumping. ”
"Looks like these guys have been idle lately."
In a word, Zhao Gang, who was resting on the side, squinted his eyes.
The Americans targeted Grand Master Li and referred to him as the butcher of Lee.
Then, Grand Master Li is unhappy, and even starts to get angry, then the consequences will be very serious, this is a master who will take revenge immediately, he is a little curious, what will this dog do?
"Lao Zhao, how about the losses of the Yankees being bombed?"
Li Yunlong asked suddenly.
"The losses are huge."
赵刚 says:
"They were given accurate information, and there was no shortage of German pilots, so the bomber fleet was eight times the size of us, and we dropped three times as many bombs."
"However, with the size of an American, it is a little nerve-wracking at most."
"Is it just a little bit of a nerve?"
Grand Master Li narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous light flickered in them:
"This Uncle Sam has a very thick family."
Although the U.S. Congress officially recognized the image of Uncle Sam as representing the United States, at present, this image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and spread to the world.
"Of course."
Zhao Gang said, his tone full of envy:
"The world's largest economic power, with a superior geographical location, developed science and technology education, and rich natural heritage."
Zhao Gang has been building the base economy for so long, and Zhao Gang has a deep understanding that in this world, economic development is the king, and the country's economy is good, and only when there is money in hand can we do things well, seek benefits for the people, and let the people live a good life.
"Keep fighting, who will win?"
Li Yunlong continued to ask.
"There is a high probability that the Anglo-American coalition will win."
Zhao Gang continued:
"Although the Germans have sufficient supplies and do not have to worry about logistics, they have consumed too much in the past few years, and their human resources cannot keep up, while the allies have too much advantage in human resources, coupled with the superior naval and air forces, they are basically invincible."
"And there are enemies in the north."
"Although the Germans are now truly all soldiers, the final victors will definitely be Britain and the United States."
Political Commissar Zhao looked far away.
The Germans are now relying on warehouses and playing a string of victories on the mainland, but in essence they are still miserable victories, and they have paid a certain price themselves. In each battle, although a large number of enemy living forces were annihilated, they also lost a lot of troops.
One day, I won't be able to bear it.
"Of course, if Britain and the United States can win, it will be a pyrrhic victory."
The commissar added.
"Then we'll give Uncle Sam a little confidence."
Grand Master Li smiled:
"After all, we're allies."
"What are you going to do?"
Zhao Gang narrowed his eyes.
Although the United States is currently a superficial ally, it is actually an enemy, and they have secretly prepared a lot of meals for the Americans, such as silver, such as grain.
There is a huge amount of grain in the warehouse, and it would be a pity not to take it out and set off a wave in the world. As the world's largest grain exporter, the United States will naturally bear the brunt.
Of course, this war must be won first.
If you want to do business in the world, you must be able to stand on the world stage.
"Didn't you say we need a dollar?"
Li Yunlong asked.
'Yes. ’
Zhao Gang nodded:
"Now the most popular currency in the world is the US dollar, and it is normal for the United States, as the world's largest industrial power and economic power, to be the hardest in the world."
"The impact of our food stamps is still too small, and we need to use the dollar as a springboard."
"That's easy."
Grand Master Li smiled:
"Haven't Americans been running out of steel production lately?"
"Then let's give the Americans technology, sell part of the technology of the Ping'an County Iron and Steel Plant to the Americans, and don't the Americans want a batch of medicines? Also sell together! ”
"Pile up what the Yankees want and sell it for a good price by the way."
Zhao Gang fell into deep thought.
According to intelligence, although the United States is the world's largest industrial power, with an annual output of 80 million tons of steel, accounting for more than one of the world's averages, steel production is still insufficient.
After all, it is necessary to supply the eastern and western fronts, and after the defeat on the eastern front, the Americans have also increased their assistance to the polar bears, and the pressure is even greater.
If we can see the technology of our own steel mills and the technology of oxygen bottom blowing to the Americans, according to the master's speculation, the output of the United States can be increased to 150 million tons per year. Nearly doubled.
In this way, more tanks, artillery, planes, ships were produced, and the war became more intense.
As for fuel, Americans really don't lack this thing, and now that the war has been going on for so long, the United States has not implemented fuel control in the country, which can be seen that the annual output of 200 million tons accounts for 70% of the world.
In comparison, it has only a few small oil fields, with an annual output of no more than 1,000 tons.
At present, there are only two steel plants, with a maximum designed output of 3 million tons, and because of the lack of skilled workers, they have not yet started at full capacity, and the actual annual output is less than 1.5 million tons.
"I'll see it."
Zhao Gang nodded and agreed:
"After all, we are allies, and it's normal for good things to be given to allies."
With sufficient US dollars, he was able to recruit foreign technicians and workers, and although there were masters and masters at the top level, and they were relatively sufficient, the serious shortage of technical personnel at the grassroots level was the biggest problem restricting the development of the base areas.
Nowadays, around Ping'an County, Heyuan County, Yangquan and Taiyuan, under the construction of the construction brigade, the living environment is no worse than that of medium-sized cities in Europe, and the construction of large reservoirs has also solved the problem of insufficient water.
As a result, Political Commissar Zhao took a fancy to the talents in the world.
It's time to recruit from abroad.
"Haha, that's it."
Grand Master Li grinned at the corners of his mouth.
Dare to scold him? Then put a fire on your home.
But you think that's the end of it?
How can it be!
The Americans scolded him as a butcher, and this is not over, but revenge must be taken step by step.
"When is the next wave of bombing?"
Before leaving, Zhao Gang asked.
According to the Zhurong plan, the air force will carry out a continuous large-scale bombardment of the devil's homeland, and it has been several days since the last bombing, and according to the time, the next wave is also fast.
"A week later."
Li Datuan grinned again:
"After the last bombing, there were a lot of new pilots in the unit, and I was scattered and crammed into the bomber team, and it took a while to train."
Zhao Gang nodded suddenly.
The bombing of Tokyo, as soon as it relieved the grievances of being burned, killed and looted by devils at home in the past few years, was naturally extremely encouraging, and it was not surprising that the remaining preserved pilots came to vote one after another.
Naturally, it takes a little time to screen out spies and then train them.
"In the next bombing, we will send one hundred and fifty planes."
Li Yunlong smiled happily and his tone was very proud.
